Influences of Turbulence Scale on Combustion Enhancement

 

Improvement of burning velocity by in-cylinder flow is important to achieve higher thermal efficiency of gasoline engines by further lean burn technique with EGR. Therefore, influences of turbulence scale on combustion duration and flame shape were investigated in this study.
The combustion durations, especially in initial combustion stage, were reduced by the smaller size of turbulent eddy even at the same turbulence intensity.

Comment:

The effects of turbulence length scale on propagating flames were revealed in this study. Results are useful for the enhancement and modeling of combustion.
